Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle spoke wheel tension detection technology, and in particular to a motorcycle spoke wheel tension detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Motorcycle spoked wheels are a classic wheel assembly structure, consisting of a hub, spokes, and rim connected evenly by the spokes. The spokes are typically made of high-strength steel wire and are radially distributed, secured to the hub and rim by nuts at both ends. This structure provides the wheel with excellent elastic cushioning performance, effectively absorbing vibrations on rough roads and improving riding comfort and stability. Furthermore, spoked wheels offer the advantage of allowing damaged spokes to be replaced individually, resulting in lower maintenance costs. Their unique mechanical aesthetics and retro style also make them popular in off-road motorcycles and vintage models. During production, the tension of the spokes needs to be tested.

[0003] Most existing tension testing devices are handheld, which rely entirely on the operator's hand strength to maintain stability. During the testing process, slight hand tremors, fatigue, or minor changes in testing posture can cause the tension gauge to shift position, thus affecting the accuracy of the test data. Especially during long-term testing operations, operator hand fatigue intensifies, and the error in the test results also increases. To address this, we propose a tension testing device for motorcycle spoke wheels. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a motorcycle spoke wheel tension detection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The inner end of the sleeve is fixedly installed with a limiting arc plate adapted to the wheel.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the internal thread of the external threaded sleeve is connected to a threaded rod, and an operating handle is fixedly installed at the outer end of the threaded rod.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 A motorcycle spoke wheel tension detection device includes a spoke tension meter 1 and a detection stabilization mechanism 2 disposed above it. A limit mechanism 3 is disposed below the detection stabilization mechanism 2. The detection stabilization mechanism 2 includes a stabilizing frame 201. The stabilizing frame 201 is connected to a connecting frame 204 through a ring frame 202. A sliding groove 203 is provided inside the ring frame 202. The connecting frame 204 is connected to an operating rod 206 through a fixed shaft 205. The operating rod 206 is connected to a resistance rod 208 through a sliding frame 207. The resistance rod 208 is connected to a mounting plate 210 through a sliding sleeve rod 209. The spoke tension meter 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 210.

[0023] The spoke tension meter 1 is an existing technology that uses the deformation amplification effect of the mechanical structure to convert the minute tension of the spokes into a visible pointer displacement.

[0024] The ring frame 202 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the stabilizer 201, the connecting frame 204 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the ring frame 202, and the fixed shaft 205 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting frame 204.

[0025] One end of the operating lever 206 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 205, and the other end of the operating lever 206 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 203.

[0026] The operating lever 206 can rotate on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 205 and slide inside the sliding groove 203, so that the spoke tension gauge 1 can move around the circumference of the ring frame 202 and correspond to the spokes on the spoke wheel.

[0027] The sliding frame 207 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the operating rod 206, the resistance rod 208 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding frame 207, the sliding sleeve rod 209 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the resistance rod 208, and the mounting plate 210 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding sleeve rod 209.

[0028] The sliding sleeve 209 experiences resistance when sliding on the resistance rod 208, requiring manual force to slide. The sliding frame 207 can slide on the operating rod 206, while the sliding sleeve 209 can slide on the resistance rod 208. Combined with the circular motion, this allows the spoke tension gauge 1 to detect any spoke within the range of the ring frame 202.

[0029] Specifically, the operating lever 206 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 204 via the fixed shaft 205, and the other end can slide within the sliding groove 203 of the ring frame 202. This unique design allows the operating lever 206 to be flexibly adjusted at multiple angles and positions. At the same time, the sliding frame 207 can slide on the outer wall of the operating lever 206. In conjunction with the resistance rod 208 and the sliding sleeve rod 209, the operator can easily adjust the position and angle of the spoke tension gauge 1 according to different sizes and specifications of motorcycle spoke wheels without the need for complicated disassembly and installation processes, which greatly improves the convenience and stability of the detection operation.

[0030] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The limiting mechanism 3 includes a wheel placement plate 301, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stabilizer 201, and a limiting shaft 302 is fixedly installed at the center of the surface of the wheel placement plate 301.

[0031] Fixing blocks 303 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the wheel placement plate 301 near all four sides. The interior of each fixing block 303 is threaded with an external threaded sleeve 304. The inner end of the external threaded sleeve 304 is rotatably connected to a sleeve 305. The inner end of the sleeve 305 is fixedly installed with a limiting arc plate 306 that is compatible with the wheel.

[0032] The threaded sleeve 304 is internally threaded with a threaded rod 307, and an operating handle 308 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the threaded rod 307.

[0033] Through the threaded connection between the external threaded sleeve 304 and the fixed block 303, and the threaded engagement between the threaded rod 307 and the external threaded sleeve 304, the operator can easily rotate the operating handle 308 to rotate the threaded rod 307, thereby adjusting the extension length of the external threaded sleeve 304. This adjustable structural design allows the limiting arc plate 306 to flexibly adapt to motorcycle spoke wheels of different sizes and specifications. Whether it is a small off-road motorcycle spoke wheel or a large cruiser motorcycle spoke wheel, it can achieve precise limiting and fixing, effectively expanding the application range of the detection device.

[0034] Specifically, the limiting shaft 302 can be precisely inserted into the center hole of the wheel to provide initial positioning and central support for the wheel, preventing the wheel from shifting or shaking during the testing process. At the same time, the limiting structure consisting of the fixing block 303, the external threaded sleeve 304, the sleeve 305, and the limiting arc plate 306 around the wheel placement plate 301 can clamp and fix wheels with different gears within the standard range from multiple directions, further enhancing the wheel fixing effect and ensuring that the wheel is always in a stable state during the testing process, laying the foundation for accurate testing of spoke tension.

[0035] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a motorcycle spoke wheel tension detection device. The motorcycle spoke wheel is placed on the wheel placement plate 301, so that the center hole of the wheel is aligned with the limiting shaft 302. The limiting shaft 302 is inserted into the center hole of the wheel to complete the initial positioning of the wheel.

[0036] Rotating the operating handle 308 causes the threaded rod 307 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 307 is threadedly connected to the external threaded sleeve 304, the external threaded sleeve 304 will move along the thread direction within the fixed block 303. The external threaded sleeve 304 pushes the limiting arc plate 306 towards the wheel through the sleeve 305 until the four limiting arc plates 306 are tightly attached to the edge of the wheel, thus firmly fixing the motorcycle spoke wheel to the wheel placement plate 301 from multiple directions.

[0037] Based on the position of the spoke to be tested, rotate the operating rod 206. One end of the operating rod 206 rotates around the fixed shaft 205, while the other end slides in the sliding groove 203. Adjust the angle and position of the operating rod 206, then slide the sliding frame 207. The resistance rod 208 moves on the outer wall of the operating rod 206 to adjust the horizontal position. Next, slide the sliding sleeve rod 209 to drive the mounting plate 210 and the spoke tension meter 1 fixed at its bottom to move on the outer wall of the resistance rod 208 to adjust the vertical position so that the spoke tension meter 1 is aligned with the spoke to be tested.

[0038] Once the spoke tension meter 1 is aligned with the spoke to be tested, operate the spoke tension meter 1 to test the tension of the spoke and obtain the corresponding test data.

[0039] Repeat the above steps, and by adjusting the detection stabilization mechanism 2, make the spoke tension meter 1 align with the other spokes on the motorcycle spoke wheel in sequence to complete the tension detection of all spokes.

[0040] After the test is completed, rotate the crank handle 308 in the opposite direction to move the limiting arc plate 306 away from the wheel, release the fixation of the motorcycle spoke wheel, and then remove the motorcycle spoke wheel from the wheel mounting plate 301.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
